The competition requires you to guess the weight of flour. we have this information:

The car, which is made of 1,000 loaves of bread, is moulded from the following ingredients: about 14 litres of water, 15kg of yeast, 2kg of salt, 10.8 litres of food varnish and an undisclosed amount of flour.

So, working backwards, and assuming 65% hydration, based on 14 litres of water that would be about 21 kg of flour. For 1000 loaves? Not possible.

How about using the 2 kg of salt, and hoping that the chefs were not intending to make that high salt fake Play-Doh? That suggests 100 kg of flour. Getting there, I think.

But maybe they used only 1% salt. That would be 200 kg of flour. And that's my final answer.

Wow! That's an impressive work of art. That surely take a lot of bread. I hope I could see it in person and check out the different types of bread they put on it. That really took a lot of effort to make the wheel axle assembly and body structure of the F1. Truly an impressive work. Great job guys!
